Segment lengths do not match

[Jaime Perry]

Hello,

I found and old note of mine about a corrupted file I came across at 
some point.  The client determined they did not need the file so it 
became a non issue at the time, but, curiosity has a hold of me now.  I 
am wondering if there would have been a way to recover the records in 
the file.

The client was using Filepro 4.?? on a SCO unix system.  From what I 
remember, they were getting bad block messages constantly and I figured 
this particular file was sitting on a bad block.  When trying to define 
files or access via Inquire. Update, Add, I would get the following error:

Segment lengths do not match.

Key and data segments contain differing number of records.

Is there a way to recover/fix this?  We recently had a rash of clients 
with hard drive problems and while this error did not occur for any of 
them, besides curing my curiosity, it would be useful to know in case it 
does happen again.

Thank you
Jaime
